    Speech recognition correction suddenly very slow


    I've been using Windows Speech Recognition in Windows 10 for several years and have been pretty happy with it. I'm currently using Windows 10.0.19041, build 19041, with latest updates, on a Core i7-960 system with 12 Gb installed RAM. I am using a Logitech USB gaming headset with noise cancelling microphone. I have found Speech Recognition to be quite responsive and with very good accuracy. It's not perfect, but it's quite useful.


    Suddenly, starting today, I find that the recognition accuracy is somewhat worse. More importantly, there is an interminable delay every time I try to correct a wrong word. Suppose I say "fixed" and Speech Recognition types "fox." When I say "correct fox," there is about a five to ten second delay before the Alternates Window pops up, instead of the usual rapid response.


    Now suppose "fixed" is item #3 on the list of possible alternate words. I say "Choose 3 -- OK." Instead of the usual immediate replacement of the old word by the new word, it takes 20 or more seconds for the word "fixed" to appear in my document as a replacement for "fox." The Alternates window, which normally disappears a second after the replacement occurs, now remains on screen for an additional 20 seconds before finally disappearing. This is unacceptably slow, to the point where Speech Recognition has become unusable.


    This is happening in both Word Documents and Outlook emails with Office Professional Plus 2016. I understand Speech Recognition can slow down with very long documents, but I'm seeing this problem shows up from the beginning as I start the first paragraph in a new document or email. When I open Windows Task Manager to check resource utilization on the system, I see that's not a problem - the CPU has less than 15% usage, memory less than 40%, and disk activity is less than 5%.


    This is new behavior. I last used Speech Recognition last week, with no problems, and I have not installed any new hardware or software since then.


    I've looked online for a solution, without finding one. Can anyone suggest what I should change or look at? Thanks!

    :)

    No speech recognition at all


    Hi, this may be of interest:
    Installing additional language packs for Windows 10 speech recognition random ranting

    This has downloads, + a complete list of languages availablefor Win 10:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=27224
    (but note the date)

    fwiw I just tried it- my locale, speech, display language etc are set to UK English. (Which took some doing this time, or something was slightly messed up).

    If I type speech in Cortana's search box, say, I get Windows Speech Recognition as top search.

    I use Classic Shell, with the Control Panel expanded, so in a second or less I can see 'Speech Recognition' listed there.

    Similarly, if I type 'Speech' in Settings I can easily see Speech Recognition.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    With the speech recognition bar displayed, task manager shows:
    SpeechRuntime.exe in C:\Windows\System32\Speech_OneCore\Common ..........

    sapisvr.exe in C:\Windows\Speech\Common

    running.

    =================================================
    Some (older) search results:

    I came across this for Win 7
    Speech Recognition - Language Configuration is Not Supported Error Fix - Windows 7 Help Forums
    - maybe there's an updated one here (see Tutorials).

    There are a couple of helpful links at the end of this (but Win 7 again)
